Transfiguration, Uncreated Light, and Hesychastic Prayer (Homily)

"On the Mountain You were Transfigured, O Christ God, and Your disciples beheld Your glory as far as they could see it; so that when they would behold You crucified, they would understand that Your suffering was voluntary, and would proclaim to the world that You are truly the Radiance of the Father!" (Kontakion—Tone 7)
